ADJUDICATOR Charlotte Hayes BAC Mus (PERF), BAC Mus (HONS), L.R.S.M., F.T.C.L., Dip.Tchg (NZ) Charlotte completed her musical training with two degrees in musical performance by the age of twenty. Her professional career, as a cellist, commenced with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. However, her passion for teaching led Charlotte to work as a peripatetic and later as a Director of Music. In these roles, the bands and choirs Charlotte conducted, received great success in competitions entered in New Zealand, Australia and America. Her students were also awarded top marks in New Zealand music examinations. Experience as a National Adjudicator required her assessing of all instruments. Charlotte worked as a leading cellist in the Christchurch Symphony for thirty years and is also professionally trained in recorder and piano. Now as a resident of Australia, Charlotte works from her private music studio in Sawtell, where her ambition is to instil the love of music into her students. 3
